Valuing United Malt stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of United Malt's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Dividend payout ratio: 41.67% of net profits
Recently United Malt has paid out, on average, around 41.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.49% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Malt shareholders could enjoy a 1.49% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Malt's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.05 per share.
While United Malt's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that United Malt may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, United Malt's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.25 up to $4.7013. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
